STATIC PRESSURE WAS OaT AlNED AND HELD FOR A MIN1MUM OF TEN SECONDS, THE DOOR REMAINED INTACT AND OPERABLE. SOME CREASING OF SECTIONS AND ROT A TION OF BOTTOM BRACKETS WERE NOTED. -10.0 P,S,F. STATIC PRESSURE WAS OBTAINED AND HELD FOR A MtNIMUM OF TEN SECONDS. TIIE DOOR REMAINED INT ACl' AND OPERABLE. SOME CREASING OF SECTIONS AND ROTATION OF DOTIOM BRACKETS WERE NOTED. CONC.,LUSION: TIllS TEST DEMONSTRATED THE ABlLIlY OF A 9'X7' FOAMCORE. AS ASSEMBLED PER DRA WING WP9'.O 14. TO REMAIN INTACT AND OPERABLE AFTER ENDURtNG A STATIC PRESSURE OF +40.0 F.S,F. AND -40,0 P,S.F. APPRO V AI, BY SrMILARITY: DOORS LISTED OF A LESSER wrDTH AND OTHERWISE THE SMtE ARE APPROVED BY SlMJLARllY. TIIERE CAPABILITY TO WITH STAND PRESSURE IS EQUAL TO OR BEITER THAN THE DOORS TESTED, REDUCING TIlE W1Dlll OF A DOOR REDUCES TIfE STRESS ON IT AND CAUSES LESS LOAD TO BE TRANSMITTED TO utE ttOLLERS, TRACK, AND BRACKETS. .. DOORS LISTED OF A LESSER HEIGHT AND OTHERWISE THE SAME ARE APPROVED BY SIMlLARITY, THESE DOORS UA VB THE SAME STRUCTURAL ABILITY AS THE DOORS TESTED. BUT WILL I-IA VE LESS LOADING AT EQUIVALENT PRESSURES DUE TO TIIE DECREASE IN AREA, 8 FOOT, 5 PAl'-I"EL DOORS. LISTED. ARE APPROVED BY SIMlLARIlY, CALCULATIONS SHOW THAT AN 8 FOOT,S PANEL, DOOR HAS 125% MORE STRENGTH IN STRUTTING A."JD ONt. '( 115% MORE AREA TO BE LOAOED.
